Skyzoo - The Definite Prayer Lyrics






As soon as the drum rolls I'm picturing unloads
I'm picturing one show that gives them an unclosed
Description of one grown, and witnessing son grown
"That boy good, and to the greats, he the one chose"
As soon as the horns lift, I picture the cautious
Becoming beyond it from fear of the lost sense
I'm picturing all them that said he was awesome
Retracting their talking for fear an endorsement
May seal up their coffin, hammer to the nail
Metal to metal but he's just planning to prevail
Ghetto to ghetto they say he handle what they rail
Echo the echoes, and if he handle what they rail
He's never been settled so if your handling is frail
He let go the legos and tell you "catch 'em if you will"
You catch like D-Will, well and good, have you riding for your team
Until you find out you traded off the bottom of your screen
Like "let me find out", gave it every line of what I be
Until the time's out, and this shit is just not what it should be
So every Glock that ever leans and every shot that ever leaves
From off the top of where that beam is red dotting where you breathe
Is in a box apparently waiting out to hear from me
They wait aloud to hear the screams and they about whatever needs
And their hearing's well and good so if they think they heard a call
They tryna hop outta that box and make you sing the words along
Serenades warrant hearing aids, ringing murder ones
Blue and whites move alike if they should think they heard a drum
And they justifying justice, pulling triggers for the cause
I got a big enough applause off the strength of the allure
Saying this is what it was, well if this is what becomes
Then I became what they paint as the picture never hung
I became what they made as a glimpse of what was won
The W's at The W, spilling off the hum
The one to do what they wanna do, in it for the run
'Til the tape's broke in half and I'm praised off of laps
Call it A-side B-side, tape broke in half
And my A-side B-side was made to be exact
No 40 dollar replicas but all of my etcetera's
Exemplified the inner sides of all that my forever does
Live or die, get us by, bigger signs, better runs
Bigger rides, get inside, visualize what never comes
Minimized inner highs, Phyllis Hy', level one
Staring at a page and a pill with a heavy tongue
Say that I amaze but I still feel forever young
Heavy is the fade that should fill that New Era son
Imagine it in front of you, like packages that wanna move
So much so that they react without you running to
So running towards is all that you in it for
All the stones in that crown is all that it really was
All them stones on the ground is all that you penning off
From the pitching to the ditching, its more than they get to pump
So chorus them for the trunk, meaning sing for the drive
I'm still the peddlers theme, they say I sing for the drive
Now bring in the reprise, and let the beat breathe
I'll let you comb through the poem and what's beneath these
I'm on my throne, Pewter Foams and the seat reads
That "you should know you alone is what the need needs"
So on the low I know the code & how to debrief
But on the low I know the dough is where belief be
So all of my encouragement is pointed on hurrying
'Cause getting it don't mean that you got it, so we gonn' hurry this
And get it until each of us got it, you say you listening
I hope that when I speak in these pockets you get the gist of it
They open off of me in them boxes where they be signaling
Like "we see them a block away, so put all of that stock away!"
I come through, windows off, still knocking Rae'
The Hilfiger version, and I feel I'm in its purpose
So I wheeled 'em where the words is, pedal to the predicate
For the love of money baby, decimals is delicate
For the love of money baby, settling we never did
They can't fuck with where this effort is
See if I told you everything I ever wanted to say
You'd either nobel prize me or scurry away
And that nobel prize seat?, I'm one up away
"A Dream Deferred" will chauffeur me to one of them thangs
Either a plaque or a stat or a ribbon that's attached
To a gold plated Alfred, in-scripted through the back
Homey this shit is a wrap, if you was bitching in the past
The future is more looted, baby get it how you ask
The truest to walk through it, so whoever ya'll spewing
To be that guy back slides, I fountain pen baptize
The same shit that I was with, I'm still in that mind
So never mind who on that side

    C.... Y....

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    C.... Y....

    This still probably the illest shit I ever heard.

  14. R.... M....

    wow. this here is one of the songs you play when you telling somebody why you love hip hop. 

    R.... M....

    Rishard Morgan right

    R.... M....

    Amen to that!!!!!

  15. M.... C....

    Great stuff. Nice flow. 

  16. M.... C....

    Did better than Lil Wayne & Kendrick 

  17. J.... M....

    what just happened to my ears?

  18. r.... ....

    let me know when you get it

  19. R.... S....

    And people say real hip hop is dead ..... It is if your looking to be spoon fed thru the radio or tv , but FAR from it if you go out and actually search for it.

  20. H.... ....

    This sounds like the end of a Spike Lee movie. Incredible

  21. i.... ....

    I'm convinced that your up there in rap music. I feel dumb for not knowing this rapper existed. Dam... I need to get my shit together

  22. H.... E....

    This is his best song imo. Too dope for the masses

  23. M.... ....

    Nah..but he's nice

  24. J.... ....

    Defnitive Can you define that

  25. t.... ....

    one of his best tracks

  26. t.... ....

    The future is more looted, get it how you ask. That's something to think about.

  27. i.... ....

    Cali south beach i guess

  28. f.... ....

    better than jay z

  29. h.... ....

    What about crooked I?

  30. N.... N....

    this dude is slowly becoming my fav rapper!!!

  31. H.... B....

    It was sampled from David Axelrod - Holy Thursday

  32. M.... M....

    I need this instrumental

    M.... M....

    I know this was 7 years ago but for anyone looking for the instrumental, its "Holy Thursday" by David Axelrod.

  33. C.... S....

    Valid. The two are not the same, but gotdamn...this is beautiful music!!! Whewwwww!

  34. B.... ....

    serenades warrant hearing aids.......Damn.

  35. T.... ....

    I agree. Great lyricist, not the best artist in the world. A lot of people think they're one in the same, which couldn't be more false

  36. W.... o....

    Reks? The R? G Rap? Monch? Chino? Canibus?

  37. G.... ....

    If he slowed down i wonder how many of his albums would go diamond

  38. x.... ....

    although sober the lyrics are great but when i spark one up and listen to every single word this shit takes me far away damn how the fuck lil wayne made it?

  39. T.... S....

    for just straight MC'n he's on my list but as an overall artist I dont' think he'd make my list. Him & jon connor get a similar complex. Nice bars but not amazing at actually making songs... This joint isn't an example of that of course... cuz this shit's straight fire. Alot of his tracks I think I would appreciate more for reading from a poetry standpoint... Just my opinion, either way he a beast!

  40. C.... ....

    How come Skyzoo is no longer with Jamla?? I always looked forward to hearing him over 9th Wonder and the Soul Council's production!

  41. r.... ....

    man i miss listening to Skyzoo

  42. E.... ....

    For most artists this would be six songs

  43. S.... Y....

    Respect from Holland..

  44. G.... K....

    Top Upcoming Emcees From Brooklyn NY

    1. Skyzoo

    2. Maffew Ragazino

    3. Joey BadaSS

    4. Pro Era (Capital Steez, CJ Fly)

    5. Stann Smith

  45. K.... ....

    9th wonder did not produce this.

  46. B.... G....

    this dude is amazing on the mic

  47. D.... ....

    I would love to find the 3 dislikes..

  48. t.... ....

    still think this was top 5 best hip hop track of 2011

  49. M.... ....

    Kendrick Lamar would destroy this guy

  50. J.... P....

    This shit deserves at least a million plays.....the fact that it doesn't shows that there's still something wrong with hiphop today....

  51. M.... ....

    Yo this dude is serious I wish kats with skills like this get radio play...dammm I need to have a radio station so I can play real rap like this

  52. W.... ....

    Logic fan I see!

  53. f.... ....

    the 3 people who disliked this... KILL YASELF!!

  54. T.... 6....

    Skyzoo should go to jail for this...I mean the man blatantly committed murder by killing this beat so badly.

    This guy is mad underrated.

  55. M.... ....

    @camplo195 Kendrick Lamar is

  56. Y.... ....

    This song has the best chorus ever.

  57. R.... ....

    The thing that annoys me is right here u have a great beat that sky destroyed and it's got nearly 38000 views.
    then next you have Lil Wayne's shit that's getting about 30000000 views.
    the fuck is wrong with people

  58. S.... N....

    Genius MC, SKYZOO is the most premier MC doin it right now. Much Love and Respect from South Africa ... @MogulJuice

  62. N.... ....

    He's fantastic - but I never understood everything he says; clearly, he's still a lyrical beast!

  63. f.... ....

    @marq89 Me too dude. But his shit is crazy good

  64. D.... L....

    If i seen him going anywhere, i'd say Slaughterhouse, but where he may end up, i praise his success, this is what my car stereo is missing

    @lyricist614 i see you respect real hiphop music. if its not out your way, come and checkout my new video on my page. im sure you wont be disappointed. support the movement. thanks.

  77. s.... ....

    doing my research, of course this track was made by David Axelrod on "Holy Thursday" track. However, it has been used by a multitude of artists/media from lil wayne on "dr. carter" to Pete Rock in "think twice" to Sublime "Doin Time" to The Artifacts, The Beatnuts, Unkle, Fat Joe, INI, Deda, Tone from Trackmasters, Jurassic 5, Apache, Tonto, Black Sheep, Quasimoto, Mix Master Mike the 1972 "Superfly" movie, and finally the game, GTA 4. Skyzoo is just the latest artist to sample it.

    s.... ....

    stokelycalm U did your homework. I appreciate that. Thanks for the info on the sample.

  78. S.... S....

    HOLY SHIT!

  79. f.... ....

  84. D.... ....

    @jeffnfoxylady1 most likely young money lmao

  85. j.... ....
